[Albion] RIP - A toast!

[portlock seagull]

...to my old man. On the eve of his funeral tomorrow, I've been in bits all today leading up-to. I loved him so dearly and he's now with my late mum. They were together for more than 50 years bless 'em.

He did his duty, took me to the Albion as a kid when I'd set off on the wrong path as a Liverpool fan in late 70's/early 80s - and made me and @Lindfield by the Pond wooden stools to stand on at the Goldstone in the Chicken Run so we could see Nobby, Wardy, Fozzie and co.

Join me tonight with a glass of red, a G&T or pint of beer...whatever you're fancy, he enjoyed 'em all if they had alcohol in

Love you Dad, and here's to all Dads everywhere no longer with us!
Cheers!

Wow, that was very very poignant. Hope tomorrow goes as well as can be expected for you all.

I started watching the Albion around the same time and also on a wooden box my father had made for me.

Cheap bottle of Tescos cider is the best I can do….hard when u lose a parent …even harder when the second one goes …plenty of good memories yes? Gone but not forgotten!

All the best mate, my Dad’s in his late 80s and just had him admitted to hospital here in Athens a few hours ago I think he’ll pull through, but seemed touch and go for a while. Raising an Alfa here to all Dads!

 

[Yes Chef]

An excellent tribute, all the very best for tomorrow

 

[robinsonsgrin]

Much love to you Portlock. I am sure you will do dad proud x

 

[maltaseagull]

Raising my glass for you and your Dad.
Sorry for your loss.
Hope you get through tomorrow OK.

My Dad couldn't take me to games as he always worked on Saturdays but he was a grocer and I got a wooden cheese box to take to games that a friend's Dad took us to. I always left the box behind as there were always plenty of new ones.
Sorry for any sore shins .

Sorry for your loss. I’m another who started out at the Goldstone standing on a wooden box that my dad made so I could watch the game.

RIP to your dad, lost my mum last year she was the one who made me Albion. Hopefully the boys will deliver you and him 3 points tomorrow

 

[Questions]

I’ve just nicked my wife’s red wine to honour him. God bless

That’s a beautiful tribute PS, well done. He will be very proud of you. Cherish the precious memories, and stay strong tomorrow. Godspeed. Wedgee.

 

[Withdean and I]

Very sorry to hear of your loss and thoughts are with you for tomorrow. Those memories of going to the Goldstone are precious and it seems like there were a few of us stood on boxes etc that our Dad’s took.
